The Tai-Ex opened up (上漲開盤) 95-points this morning from yesterday's close

(收盤), at 45,972 on turnover (成交金額) of $15-billion N-T.

The Ministry of Digital Affairs says Meta has promised to restore (恢復)

thousands of social media accounts wrongly suspended (被停用 / 被停權) over the

weekend, with nearly 90 percent recovered as of Wednesday afternoon.

Between 3,000 and 4,000 accounts were suspended late Sunday after a technical

issue caused Meta's system to mistakenly flag users as being under 13 years

old, part of a new age-verification mechanism (年齡驗證機制) the company rolled out

in May.

About 200 accounts belonged to media organizations and public figures, with

thousands more belonging to individual users.

The ministry instructed Meta to restore a list of nearly 100 accounts,

including those of major broadcasters and prominent political figures, by 6

p.m. Wednesday.

Meta also said its existing appeal mechanisms remain available for users

whose accounts are still suspended.

A 50-year-old man was arrested (被逮捕) Wednesday morning after robbing a bank

in New Taipei's Banqiao District with a pair of scissors.

Police said the robbery at the Taishin International Bank branch was reported

at around 10:15 a.m.

Officers arrived four minutes later to find the suspect (嫌犯), surnamed Wang,

seated in the customer area counting cash.

He was arrested on the spot.

Wang is being questioned on suspicion of robbery.

Investigators are working to determine whether any accomplices (共犯) were

involved and whether the crime was premeditated.

US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian have

digitally signed a fourteen-point memorandum of understanding (諒解備忘錄) to end

the war between the United States, Israel and Iran.

The deal calls for an immediate ceasefire (停火), the reopening of the Strait

of Hormuz and the lifting of sanctions (制裁) on Iranian oil exports, but

President Trump has warned the agreement is not final and the US would resume

military action if further talks fail.

A further round of negotiations is due to begin in Switzerland on Friday,

with those talks expected to conclude within sixty days.

The United Nations’ food agencies warn that acute hunger (嚴重飢餓) is set to

worsen across 13 global hot spots in the coming months, calling for urgent

action.

Conflict, funding shortages, and climate shocks are pushing millions closer

to famine (飢荒).

A new joint report from the Food and Agriculture Organization and the World

Food Program highlights that conditions are expected to deteriorate between

June and November 2026.

Around 266 million people already face high levels of acute food insecurity

(糧食不安全).

The report says "Sudan, South Sudan, Yemen, and Palestine" remain the

countries of greatest concern.

Nigeria and Somalia have been newly added to that category as conditions

worsen and famine risks rise.

Archaeologists (考古學家) say they have discovered a structure near Stonehenge

that may have served as a “prototype” (原型) for the monument.

A team from Wessex Archaeology says the structure, found near Bulford,

predates Stonehenge by around 500 years.

It consisted of two wooden poles aligned with the sun during solstices (至日).

The site also revealed pottery, animal bones, and a rare knife, suggesting it

was a focus for religious gatherings.

The discovery was made as part of work for the British defense ministry.

Stonehenge remains a symbol of British culture and a major tourist attraction.
